Social Skills Group

Social skills are the skills we use everyday to interact and communicate with others. A person has strong social skills if they have the knowledge of how to behave in social situations and understand both written and implied rules when communicating with others. 

If you are like most teens, you are spending a lot of time communicating through text and social media, looking at a screen. It's easy to forget how to engage in face-to-face communication, which is critical for your future success. 

This group will help teens learn how to communicate more effectively in every area of their life.

Adolescents ages 11-14 who struggle with friendships, have difficulty picking up on others’ social cues, who have difficulty managing feelings.  Great for teens with ASD and others. 

- How to identify and manage feelings

- To express self clearly and improve communication

- To improve problem solving skills.

- To develop healthy friendships.

Tuesdays at 4:45pm for 8 weeks. Next group will start March 28, 2023. 

Total investment for 8 weeks is $400 or $50 per session. 

We are out of network from insurance companies.
